Resolutions on the death of George
NJ. Hill
Master of the universe to remove our venerable
brother, Geo. NJ. Hill, charter member of Water
man Lodge, F. & a. NJ, and of Tucker Chapter,
Il. A. NJ, from the pains and infirmitieS of this
tranStOry existence to a state of endleSSS dura-
ton, thus Seyering an important link from the
traternal chain which binds us together. There
fore,
ResoIued, That while we deeply deplore his re-
moval from our Lodge as the Oldest and most
leNcItu IlellDeT thereon, we feHecC WITH SdtlSfdc
ton and pride upon his sixty years of Masonic
life, as constant eXemplifcation of the great
tenets of our order, Faith. Hope, and Charity;
and while we bow in humble submission to this
we will cherish his memory and
to emulate his virtues
Resolved, That in the death of Brother Hill this
Lodge, as well as the fraternity at large, lOOseS
one of the time hOnored veterans of the mystic
tie; one who, in his early manhood was made to
feel the heavy hand of persecution, calumny.
and derision, which fell to the lot of
all the faithful in the dark days of Masonry when
many were constrained to deny their master and
declare they never knew him. But Brother Hill
was a man who frankly and fearleSSly declared
his convictions. and was always ready to defend
them with determination which knew no fear.
ReSOIred, That this Lodge and Chapter extend
its sympathy to the children of Bro. Hill, and
them to that Saviour who will fold the
arms of His love and protection around those
who put their trust in Him.
ReSoLUed, That these resolutions be spread
upon the records of the Lodge and Chapter, that
a copy of them be presented to the family, and
a copy furnished the NEWS s. CITIZEN for pub
